Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Our "B" league team champed it. So we went into the N. Carolina State games, burning oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 It was in Greensboro, where their melty ice is norm. Dicks. They're girls. So, we thought we were wicked, and some guys knew some college kids, so we got some Ringers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 We were old guys. College kids can burn it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 We were sittting in the locker room, with two ringer-goalies (I don't even know where our regular goalie went), and they were saying how hard it was to scramble in front of the net, when everyone's stick had 3" of black tape on it. So we all pulled our tape tape off, and put 3" of black tape on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 I played in a "C" league game. After, I was undressing, when the next B - team came into the locker room. They said, "Hey! We need a guy. You want to play for free?" "Yes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 After that game, the A-league guys came in. "Hey. We need a guy. You want to play for free?" "Yes!" This was a really bad mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Right before the game started, our guy said, "OK. I told the other team that you are "meat"." "That means, if you get the puck, ditch it immediately. Throw it up. " "if you try to carry it up, you'll die." My 30-year-old legs couldn't comply.

Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 And then, some college kid threw a slapshot from the blue line, and cracked the 1" plexiglass, behind the net. I was in, deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 I ducked-and-covered. That's all I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 We lost the first State Games, (and the second one, but I don't remember, I think it was very close, we needed better ringers.), 10 to 1. And I got the only goal. And I never touched the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 So that he spun, and was obviously, trying to throw it around-behind the net... and chucked it right into his own net. I got the goal, because I was the closest. I didn't even know that was a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 So, we lost 10-to-one. And we drank magnificent pitchers of beer upon my prowness, all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 So On the State Games on North Corolina.. I don't think we ever even registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 But, after the game, Ronnie Francis, from Pittsburgh legend, which was a new owner of the Hurricanes (which didn't even exist yet) Was in the Greensboro rink, selling shares to the new NHL team, upstairs, to bankers, where all the drunk millionairs,, were watching us lose, 10 - 1. And he walked into our locker room, with a bunch of sweaty old guys, and some ringers, and said, "HEY YOU *******!! YOU KILLED IT! I LIKE YOUR GUTS!! Some of you should think of Pro!" And then someone said, "Yeah. But we lost." He was befuddled, but didn't miss a lick. "YOU GUYS NEVER QUIT! I LOVE YOUR KILLER ATTITUDE! WINNERS!!! So then, he probably went to the next locker room, and gave the same talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 We played hockey, on wicked occasions, at Dorton Arena, in Raleigh. I don't even remember that team (Nortel), or what-the-**** was shooting glass-breaking pucks at my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 I played at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. A couple times. I don't think we ever won there, but eat me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 When you are in the stands, watching the game, the ice is 12" x 4". When you skate out onto the ice, the ice is 12 miles x 4 miles. Now it's 2X as big as your regular high school game. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 At Dorton Arena, we were home-team. They let us pick our side. When we played, at the regular time, the sun would be blazing right into your face, on that side. In your face. So we always took the other side. Neener-neener.

Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 We once went to "States", in Erie. Middle school. We lost. I don't think it was a deal. We were all pretty smoked-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 And then the tour bus, (taking us to "States") went to McDonalds. So... 80 kids on the bus, and we ordered 80 cups of ice. That was messed. Ed (totally, Ed) and John Kuhn, I don't know. Had 20 bottles of wine, in their duffles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
